TERM 3 WEEK 1

Welcome back everyone!
We hope that you have all had a very relaxing holiday.

Good news!!
Our dance that we performed at Monday Meet Up is now on the Waimairi School Youtube site.

Our Topic for the Term is called Backstory and we have decided to learn from our grandparents what life was like when they were our age.

We hope to get from them letters, telling us about their schooling and what baking their Mum's did for them...or Dad's.

Next week we will be writing letters to them. Some of us will have to email them as they live in another country.
Each week we will bake one of their recipes .

This week we made scones as that was what our Grandparents used to bake a lot of as they are easy to make and don't cost too much as there are only a few ingredients in the recipe .

Measuring the flour...

Now for the baking powder...

A little big of salt....

Mixing the flour mixture with the butter...

Ready for the oven...

Mmm, this is delicious...I  thought I wouldn't like  scones but I do!!

Eating scones and looking at books on Italy as that is where Mrs Coleman is at the moment. We have been learning where Italy is on the  world map and Gayle has been reading her blog to us. It looks and sounds like a beautiful country . We all loved the old buildings...they are everywhere!!

We are also continuing our learning on Me In The Big Wide World.

This weeks discussion was on our routines...what we do every day.

We did some brainstorming on what else we could do to help our parents.

Here are some of our ideas.....

Helping with the dishes

Being happy

Putting away the clean washing

Setting the table

Packing our own lunch boxes at night

Dressing ourselves

Packing our own school bag

Next week we are going to choose one  suggestion off our list and do it at home to help our parents.

Enjoy your weekend...fingers crossed that the sun will stay shining.
